At 7 o'clock in the morning, a large number of street restaurants and bars were already full of people. Many people had reserved some seats. Relatives and friends gathered together. Everyone was waiting for the large-scale arena competition that would start at 9 o'clock.
As early as last year, the Film and Television Entertainment Association has been continuously promoting investment and making full preparations for this grand event. Many people are checking the test results of the 128 mutants, but the specific details have not been announced. These mutants
All scores are above 80 points.
A large number of gambling companies have opened their trading, and many people can't help but want to place bets. However, bets have been restricted from the beginning. The amount invested by each person cannot exceed 10% of the monthly income. This is a legal matter.
Hard rules.
After most people log in to the betting website, they can quickly see the amount they can bet by logging in with their identity information.
It is the first time for many people to participate in this kind of gambling entertainment, so the amount of bets is very small. Some people just look at the odds that are high. The odds offered by the betting companies are relatively small.
A venue has been set up at the headquarters of Section 5. A large number of spectators have gathered around Section 5 who have bought live tickets. The live tickets are not cheap. The lowest price is 30 yuan per ticket and the highest price is 300 yuan.
There are a total of 10,000 viewing seats, and the tickets have been sold out in advance.
Entering at the sect gate of Section 5, there are many booths and testing machines set up. At this time, many people are in front of the booths, saying that they can't watch for the time being, so they can only give their tickets to friends and need to change them.
The corresponding identity information of the ticket, there are not one or two such people.
"Sir, take this and see if you can help us exchange the identity information for 100 tickets!"
There was a crowd of people surrounding a guard booth. One of them, a smiling man, handed in a small bag. The member of Section 5 in the guard booth seemed to understand something. He put it away with a smile, and then checked it with his fingers in his pocket.
Next.
"Okay, but the speed needs to be slower."
Today, there are an unusually large number of people at the headquarters of Division 5. Many people from Division 3 have been temporarily mobilized to help maintain order at the scene. The scene is already crowded with people, and everyone is discussing the strength and weakness of these mutant people.
The arena competition will last approximately 3 days, starting at 9am and ending at 11am, starting at 2pm and ending at 5pm, and starting at 8pm and ending at 11pm.
All the mutants participating in today's arena competition are already waiting in Core 5. At this time, dozens of mutants who will participate in today's arena competition are sitting in the conference room, and Alpha is standing on the stage.
"Everyone participating in the competition today, please listen clearly. Our business department will directly determine the winner or loser based on the situation on site, not when you are scarred. If you have any objections to our business department's decision, you can
Submit an appeal after the arena match."
Alpha said that the expressions of the mutants below the stage were relaxed, but they looked a little restless. Many mutants were still very happy, because if they participated in the arena competition, they would get a lot of money, and even if they climbed up one rank, the bonus would be much higher.
Most mutants know that today's arena competition is different from the performances that have been arranged on some TV programs in the past. It requires real combat with real swords and guns.
"This is a set of basic rules for evaluation. Please remember it well. Knocking down your opponent, falling outside the court, or voluntarily admitting defeat are the three most direct and effective ways to judge. The subsequent rankings will be based on your performance on the court.
, and the time for you to fight.”
Alpha said, and many people became excited. The grouping had been completed a few days ago. Everyone present looked at each other's opponents and began to gear up.
"There is more than an hour left. Please adjust your body and prepare to undergo physical testing."
Alpha turned around and walked away while several governing officials began to tell these mutants some details of the game. After Alpha walked out of the conference room, she took out a cigarette. She has been the referee for the past three days, but she has not
Knowing why, Alpha always felt a little uneasy.
The clerks passing by kept saying hello to Alpha, but Alpha just nodded and walked quickly towards the venue.
When approaching the post, Alpha noticed that many of the officers in the post looked suspicious. She probably knew what they were doing. Someone would definitely be reselling tickets. This was for sure. This kind of thing was prohibited many times in the city.
In particular, the concert tickets of some entertainment stars are the most severely resold. Although Alpha has dealt with it several times, it has not achieved results. It's just that Alpha doesn't plan to do these things now. There are more important things this year.
Things have to be done.
"Please show me your ID!"
"OK!"
The two men and women holding each other's arms showed their identity certificates respectively. They were a young couple. The man's name was Gaite and the woman's name was Song Ying. Both of them were interns and were employed by the jointly organized company. They needed to work together.
Responsible for on-site treatment.
After undergoing an identity check, the two stood next to a security scanner, waiting to be checked and enter Section 5.
The people responsible for the live broadcast are queuing up one after another. Everyone is busy and excited for the feast that starts at 9 o'clock. The operators of the gaming company have already entered the scene in advance.
The most eye-catching bonus of this event is that the 128 mutants selected based on their test scores have all received 10,000 in advance. The total bonus is as high as more than 10 million, and the first place has as much as
3 million bonus.
Because this is the first time, and there are so many mutants participating this time, the bonus is very high. The Jiang family has also announced that in the future, the bonus will be customized based on the number of mutants participating in the ring competition every year. The bonus for the champion will not be lower than
1000000.
Everyone is speculating on what will happen in this competition. The lowest level of mutants participating is A1, and there are 29 S-level mutants. Basically everyone is betting on these S-level mutants to advance, and the odds have begun to appear.
Substantial changes.
Some people with average gambling luck only bet on mutants with high odds. People from all walks of life gathered here today, especially some film and television companies, who are already looking for some mutants with good appearance and temperament. Some companies even promised
Some mutants can sign contracts with companies and enter the entertainment industry as long as they get good rankings.
This grand event has driven a large number of industries. All aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation have experienced unprecedented growth in the north. The rapid development of the entire north has played a mediating role in the overall economic growth of the city.
The conflict between ordinary people and mutants has almost been eliminated. Many people from the lower classes in the south and west have also come to the north to develop, which has alleviated the burden of employment pressure in the south and west. The flow of population has not stopped the growth of consumption.
On the contrary, consumption continues to surge. In the three days of the New Year this year, the overall consumption in the city increased by 159%, and the consumption at the bottom increased by more than 200%.
This kind of economic growth makes everyone in the city very happy. Medical prices in the medical industry have also begun to drop. Many people don’t understand what Freya has done. Recently, many new drugs have appeared on the market, and the effects are better than
Many older drugs from the past are much better.
Alpha sat quietly in the arena, which was temporarily set up as a training ground on the side of the Section 5 headquarters. There are 10,000 seats in the circular square, and some ticket buyers can already be seen entering the venue in advance.
In the middle is a giant 100-square-meter metal stage. Alpha is sitting in the chief judging position, looking at the battles that will appear on the light and shadow screen today, feeling uneasy all the time.
A new round of chaos has already begun. Various problems have begun to arise surrounding the chaos of the mutant arena competition. In order to stimulate and revitalize the economy and resolve the conflicts between mutants and ordinary people, this
The arena competition has received the best results.
Once something is related to money, it often becomes extremely complicated, and many hidden problems begin to arise.
Alpha has already ordered a group of special officers to investigate privately. One of the problems reported so far is the reselling of venue tickets. At least half of the 10,000 tickets have been resold.
And when the groups were sorted out a few days ago, some team leaders and even regional officers who knew the grouping situation had privately contacted some people from the gaming companies.
Alpha knew very well that the internal information of the exam had been resold to bookmakers, and the bookmakers had already begun to contact some mutants before the start of the arena competition.
Manipulation of odds is inevitable, because the more precise the manipulation, the more profitable the gaming company will be. Behind the gaming companies are businessmen from some large companies, including family businessmen, and everyone wants to divide this huge piece of money.
Benefit.
Alpha did not immediately take action to stop these things, but was waiting and launching corresponding systems to curb these ugly phenomena from the next arena competition. This is the most effective method.
Looking at the arena in front of him, Alpha knew very well that there would be some fake matches later. The bookmaker only needed to bribe one of the mutants in the key odds, so that the mutant with low odds would deliberately lose.
The opponent with high odds, Alpha looked at the light and shadow screens in front of him, which showed all the betting companies, and some clues could already be seen from the odds.
"Chief Alpha, are you interested in this? If so, let us know. You can buy as much as you want. Just use it as some pocket money."
Honghong touched Alpha's back, and Alpha shook his head.
"If there is a fake match this time, I will directly disqualify the two of them and they will not be allowed to take the mutant promotion exam for three years."
Honghong's face changed. She looked at a bunch of values ​​on the light and shadow screen. Honghong had heard of these things to some extent. Even before the start of the arena competition, all parties' capitals had begun gearing up to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work.
I originally thought that Alpha has changed slightly now, and Honghong will no longer say anything, and can't say anything anymore. I am afraid that today's event will not go as smoothly as expected.
"Ms. Honghong, where do you want to go? Please sit here and don't go anywhere from now on. If you want to leave, I will arrest you immediately."
Honghong swallowed, feeling embarrassed for a moment, and Alpha lit a cigarette.
"Chief Alpha, are you kidding me? I think we'd better do well in this matter..."
"Isn't this a competition? Ms. Honghong, this is not a game or an entertainment program. I have told you from the beginning."
Seriously, Honghong immediately understood in her mind that Alpha might have already obtained a lot of evidence, and what she had to do now was to dig these things out directly at the scene.
This caught Honghong off guard. At this time, two female members of the special management team came over and stood directly next to Honghong.
"If she dares to contact anyone, she will be arrested immediately for illegal private trading!"
A chill ran down Honghong's spine. She didn't know what Alpha was going to do, but Alpha's expression at this time was extremely serious. Recalling what happened in the film and television area last year, a large-scale investigation only found out a small number of people. This matter was revealed by God.
They suppressed it, and Honghong also heard that the entire fifth floor of the local public security management office was destroyed because of Alpha's fight with Jean above.
"I think it's already this time, Chief Alpha, if you do this..."
To be continued...
